Coaching Checklist

Steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 must be completed before the season starts.

1) Obtain a USA Hockey Number ($45 - Valid for one season)

Choose the Player/Coach option in step 2 of the registration. USA hockey will email you a receipt once you have completed the registration. Please forward this receipt to registrar@byhc.org - please indicate the team that you are coaching. This will allow the club to record the number as well as reimburse you for the cost of the registration,

An email will be sent after a few days with the results of the application. Please forward this email to registrar@byhc.org. This will allow the club to record that the screening was done as well as reimburse you for the cost of the application.

4) Age Specific Modules ($10 - Only need to take one time for the age level you are coaching at)

An online module must be completed for the age level you are coaching at. Once completed, it will be valid for all future seasons coaching at the same level. It can take 6-8 hours to complete. Once completed you will receive a certification email. Please forward this certificate to registrar@byhc.org so it can be recorded and a reimbursement to you can be made.

Steps 5 must be completed before Dec. 31 of the current coaching year to continue coaching on Jan 1

5) Attend Coaching Clinic or Renew Certification Level

There are 5 levels of coaching certification. Only one level can be obtained per year. Your certification will expire if you do not obtain an new certification level each year. Once you obtain your level 4 certification, it will not expire, and no renewal or attendance at future clinics is required. Each level requires an in person session as well as an on ice session (classes usually take place at local rinks). Level 3 may be renewed by completing an online course. This can be done for two years.
